New 997.2 speedster must be next.
With the Boxster Spyder just out I can't help but wonder if a 997.2 Speedster might not be on the way. Mostly I'm wondering because of all the Speedster threads of late on the 964 and 993 boards. I really think these are the ultimate sports cars. Not necessarily ultimate performance cars like GT3s and RSs but sports cars. Warm Fall day, winding road, sound of the engine...
Imagine a 997 C2 widebody, chopped windshield and bumpy roof cover like the Spyder and Speedsters.
Why not....they did the Sport Classic.
Any amazing photoshop artists out there?

There was a 997 Speedster-looking spy photo out there in the last year. It was likely a prototype for the Boxster Spyder, or perhaps a 997 Speedster.
A 911 Speedster has been on my "list" since 1989. Made a couple offers back when prime examples were in the low $40s; kicking myself for not pursuing it more vigorously.

why would they do that?
That would make way to much sense... took them how many years to deliver a 19' fuch wheel and a OEM duck tail..I mean come on..... Porsche fans been begging for the same for years....your request makes 1000% logical sense but we will see if it ever happens....

Aft deck area has been radically resurfaced and smoothed out. Looks outstanding, especially considering the aesthetic shortcomings of 9ff's most notable creation - the Veyron-besting GT9...
